Koch Group Drops Cash In Louisiana To Oppose Medicaid Expansion

The deep-pocketed tea party group Americans for Prosperity is making a major push to stop an Obamacare Medicaid expansion in Louisiana.

Even Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA), facing one of the toughest Senate re-election fights of the 2014 cycle, has embraced expanding Medicaid in her home state. Landrieu's likely GOP opponent, Rep. Bill Cassidy, does not support a Medicaid expansion.

Specifically AFP, funded by the billionaire Koch brothers, is pushing all 144 state lawmakers to not support a Medicaid expansion, according to The Advocate of Louisiana.

AFP will also stage events across the state in the coming weeks to lay out its argument against Medicaid expansion.
